Wipro wins IT services contract from Australian miner MMG

India's third largest software services provider Wipro said on Thursday that it has been chosen by Australia's MMG as a strategic partner to deliver the miner's integrated business management programme over three years.

MMG is one of the world's largest producers of zinc as well as a substantial producer of copper, lead, gold and silver.

"As a part of the strategic relationship, Wipro will work with MMG to transform its operations, by standardizing and simplifying its business processes and implementing a new SAP platform that will effectively support MMG's future growth and profitability," Wipro said.

MMG, as a part of the integrated business management programme, plans to adopt a common operating platform across all assets to derive value in current and future operations.

Wipro shares were down 0.8% at Rs 393.50 on NSE in morning trade on Thursday.
